This new API supports function pointer types, multiple type subtypes, const attribute without parsing
the name string, own attribute for any partial type and more. This commit also updates the C and C++
generators so that they compile and generate correct code.
@feature
Until now, the functions giving access to class information were taking
the class name as parameter.
Except the fact that we needed to search into a hash table for the internal
class structure, no flexibility is possible.
This change consists in modifying most of the APIs using the class name
with a new Eolian_Class type and adapt the code of the C and C++
generators accordingly.
It includes parser updates, database fill and tests on basic and complex
types.
One can define types in this way:
type Evas_Coord: int; /* Simple type definition */
type List_Objects: Eina_List * <Eo *>;
@feature
This patch adds support for protected functions.
In the .eo file, the scope (public by default) has to be added before
the function name e.g:
protected foo ...
To access the protected APIs, #define (CLASS)_PROTECTED is needed e.g:
#define ELM_BUTTON_PROTECTED
When a property needs be defined as virtual pure, its type could not be
given.
It means that, even it was explicit that e.g only the get property if
virtual pure, both (set and get) were considered as virtual pure.
@fix
Now, it is possible to assign a default return value for a
method/property.
It will be used in case the function invocation makes issues, e.g eo_do
failing to find the function...
This tag indicates that the ownership of the parameter/return
value changes.
It is needed by generators (C++/LUA...) to determine if it has to be
freed or not, if it can be used as is or need to be copied...
You can add in the .eo file the eo_prefix:... and data:... in case
you want to override respectively the Eo prefix and the data type.
If "data: null" is used, no data type will be added.
